I've begun a photo/interview series called Leading Questions, presented by SeattleJazzScene.com. The interview is a series of statements, for which I have provided the first few words. The interviewee then completes each statement as it relates to him or her.
My first subject is Jim Knapp, a really outstanding composer and trumpeter in Seattle. The link to his interview is here:
This is Jim's site:
I've decided to blog about this project, it can be found here:

I've decided to do more local photography - that, combined with buying a car that does much better mileage than my old one, will help save up for a new lens.
I've never been overly keen in photographing the Knapps, but there are woods etc there that I haven't really bothered with before, that may prove quite fruitful.
When I left the house this evening, it started raining pretty heavily and I thought I may have made a mistake leaving the TV!
Thankfully, I stuck with it, and had a pleasant hour and a bit wandering around the Knapps, exploring bits I've not been to, before heading to my perch.
I took a wee stool to sit on and wait for the right light, and sat and read a bit more of 'Invictus' (2nd run through!).
This is about the only shot I've taken here I'm happy with, and wouldn't change much in. Other than the tiny amount of bad sun flare I cloned out!

Tried a wee shoot up at the Knapps again this week and was pleased to meet fellow flickrite davgil.
The fog was too dense to make the shoot a success but there's more to flickr than just the photos.
Nice to meet you :-)

Flint-knapped arrowhead.
Knapper: Mike Dull
Flint is the "official" state gemstone of Ohio (actually, there's no such thing as "official" anything). "Flint" is sometimes used as a lithologic term by modern geologists, but it is a synonym for chert. Flint and chert are the same - they are cryptocrystalline, quartzose sedimentary rocks. Rockhounds often assert that flint is high-quality while chert is low-quality. Some geologists assert that "flint" implies a biogenic origin and "chert" implies a chemical origin.
Many cherts do have a chemical origin - chert nodules are moderately common in some limestone units. The nodules form during diagenesis - pre-existing silica components in the carbonate sediments are dissolved, mobilized, and reprecipitated as chert masses. Some cherts do have a biogenic origin - for example, radiolarian cherts (rich in radiolarian microfossils) or spicular cherts (rich in siliceous sponge spicules).
The most famous flint deposit in Ohio is Flint Ridge, in Licking County. At this locality, the Middle Pennsylvanian-aged Vanport Flint is exposed in several places. The geologic literature on the Vanport Flint is relatively sparse, with inaccurate, incomplete descriptions and characterizations. For example, the literature describes the Vanport as a sheet of flint at Flint Ridge - it's actually a meganodule horizon. Other descriptions refer to the chert as the remains of siliceous sponges. In reality, siliceous sponge spicules are quite scarce in Vanport samples.
The arrowhead seen here is a modern replica. I suspect that the material is Vanport Flint from Nethers Flint Quarries, at the eastern end of Flint Ridge.
A blazing sun created some nice silhouettes while setting over Knapps Narrows on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
